This is a really good game, but the usual description you'll see everywhere 'Picross meets Ace Attorney' is not true.
The detective part of the gameplay is minimal and only serves for the plot. You are going to do the usual detective work, like finding inconsistencies in alibis or searching crime scenes, but there's no challenge and only serves the plot.
The game is picross with a story all the way, so if you like picross you're gonna love it.
The story is nice, although the final case was a bit anticlimactic, but the characters are all fun. The soundtrack is amazing! Contender for best ost in recent years.
The content is also pretty rich. There are extra picross puzzles independent from the story. A 100% completion is close to 25 hours.
Lovely game if you like picross. If you don't but you only want to play it for the detective work look somewhere else.
